Common questions

Can I use a VPN to watch?

VPN use is legal in most jurisdictions but typically violates the terms of service of streaming platforms. Streaming services actively detect and block VPN traffic, and using one to circumvent geo-restrictions can result in your account being suspended. We recommend using a licensed local service in your country, or the competition's official international streaming option which is licensed for global access (where applicable).

What time do NRL matches kick off in Ireland?

Kick-off times depend on the home country of the competition. NRL matches are scheduled in Australian Eastern time, which means UK viewers see them in the morning, US East Coast viewers see them late evening the night before, and Pacific Time viewers see them in the afternoon. Every fixture page on this site shows kick-off times in your local timezone.
